C.'s appeal, because we have urgent de.. mands on our space; and all the facts which he mentions were stated in the paragraph we published a few days ago, of the Address of the Committee. The publication of Tmic SUN NEWSPAPER commenced thisc — lTy at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 30. 1838. The average of the price of corn, for the six weeks ending August 24, published in our Paper to-day, is 71s. 11d., and the duty is now, as we last week said it would be, 6s. Bd. But the average of the week ending August 24, is 775., or ls. sd. higher than last week, and unless, therefore, it were to fall next week to 645., the average of the week ending June 29, which will be struck out of the next Return, the average of the six weeks ending August 31, will be above 725. and the duty will be down to 2s. Bd. All doubt, therefore, is now at an end, and all the corn which is in bond, and which can speedily be collected and brought from the Continent (said to be to gether upwards of a million quarters), will be introduced at a very low duty, if not the lowest duty of Is. At the very time when this fact is established the weather, we are happy to see, has taken another favourable turn. We all pray for a fine harvest ; even the farmers pray for fine weather; for each one is anxious to gather in his own crops as well as possible, and get as much as pos sible. The hopes of the public are reviving that the harvest will not be scanty ; and we all rejoice and are grateful to Providence for every day of cheerful sunshine. How will that affect the farmers ? If the harvest should not be very scanty prices with this ad ditional stock, will go down as rapidly as they got up, and the fine weather, which we believe has been prayed for in the Church, which ought to inspire the nation with gratitude to the ALMIGHTY, will carry ru in to the farmers. All their engagements fall to be paid at 'Michaelmas ; they are, one and all, in debt for rent, tithe-composition, tradesmen's work, money borrowed, &c., &c., and must sell. By a benevolent dispensation this class of men cannot withhold their food from the market. They are compelled to sell. They are now in haste to sell, and it will be the offer of their corn, not the offer of the fo reizn corn, for immediate consumption which will beat down the market. The foreign corn is owned by the monied classes, who are not compelled to go to market, and will not carry their corn thither till it suits their purpose. The result then of this fine weather, and of the large fo re i gn i m p ortat i ons at a low duty, will be that the farmers will only obtain a price for their produce which is inad q i n curred in to the expense they have in growing it ; or rent will be again paid as heretofore out of their capital, or out of their insufficient profits. Such is the benefit conferred on the farmer by the Corn-laws. When prices rise, as during the last few months, they are buyers, and have nothing to sell ; fe 0 442'4. ) Vic /- c. ',llll+ but when they sendtheir corn to market, being, as we have explained, under a compulsion to sell, then down go prices, and the monied classes alone profit, or can profit, by the variations in the price of wheat. Such is the course of nature, and the poor farmers, who have been deluded by the lying landlords into believing that they can grow rich by defrauding other men, will find them selves ruined by that fine weather which makes the hearts of all rejoice. knowing the great interest which this sub ject of Corn-laws excites in the public, we have looked day after day with some anxiety to know what was to be said on it by the Journal which guides the opinions of " three-fourths of the empire ;" but the Times has been silent. It has continued to pub lish its usual instructive comparisons of the price of the loaf here and abroad, which fur nished the materials for the celebrated Birmingham banner; but on this question of vital interest to the whole empire, which is stirring men up to think of the effect of laws in the remotest corners of the land, the leading columns of the leading Journal have not con tained a word. Hampered between its City con nections and its Tory politics, its former anathemas against the Corn-laws and its present venera tion for Tory squires, the Times has been dumb on the most interesting topic of the day. It has written dissertations on the dissertations of Air. ENEAS MACDONNEL, it has been beautifully elabo rate on the idiosyncracies of a learned Archbishop, but has not said a word on the Corn-laws. Yet we are indebted to it for one excellent illustration of their effects. It yesterday noticed the sale of wool in Germany, and informed our woollen manufacturers and the public generally, that the most of the "purchases were made on account of German manufacturers, the English operations gradually diminishing every year." But even this proof of the doubly injurious operation of the Corn laws, checking our trade with Germany, and promoting the success of manufacturers there, did not louse it into a word of comment on those devilish enactments. What a pitiful, degraded thing has the once lordly a►td mighty Times become I The poor vassal of the Tory squires dare not now open his mouth on his once favourite topic of the Corn-laws, because he knows he must impeach their plunder. The Lady's-maid, as it calls the Post, and Grandmarnma, as it nicknames the Herald, are respectable Journals compared to the once great Thundeter whose highest ambition it is now to waddle along in the rear of his own duck-legged drummer. Such degradation, the just consequence of political apostacy, was never before witnessed since Newspapers began to attract public attention. If we may believe the Times, the country is at pre sent in a most perilous condition. Her shores may at any moment be invaded, while she is unable to prevent the " simultaneous capture or destruction of every arsenal, every port, and every vessel of the United Kingdom." To be sure this great danger seems the portentous offspring of a union never very likely to be formed. The 60, or rather 80 line-of-battle ships which belong to the three aggressive powers in Europe—Russl7, France, and Egypt (is Egypt in Europe ), are not at present very likely to combine in an attack on our arsenals, ports, and vessels. We have, too, in our immense mass of merchant steamers, which might be very speedily equipped for war, a force almost infinitely powerful, and immeasurably superior to the fleets of ail the three aggressive Powers united. We do not think so des picably, therefore, as our Contemporary of the physi cal means which the nation possesses to defend its arsenals, ports, and vessels, were they to be seriously threatened. At the same time the Times performs good service to the public, in directing its attention to the inefficiency of the Navy as compared to its im mense cost. We have copied from our Contemporary both his observations and the detailed statement which he has derived from a correspondent of the amount and distribution of our naval force; and taking that in conjunction with the vast expense of the Navy, the con sideration of the subject cannot be too strongly urged on the public. Our Contemporary says : " Nor can we conceive a question more vitally important to the interests of mankind than an inquiry into the application during the last twenty-two years of repose of the sum of 137,719,6061, exclusively devoted to a branch of our national defence, on the efficiency of which alone repose the hopes of peace, the balance of power, the security of commerce, or the independence of any single state." To have spent 137,719,6061. in 22 years on a branch of our defence, which is admitted at present to be altogether inefficient, is enough to make those stare who have paid the money. When we say altogether inefficient, we do so from remembering the statement made in the House of Commons on the 25th of July last, by Mr. C. WOOD, the Secretary to the Adtni ralty, namely, " that thirty sail of the line could be im mediately sent to sea, - we could get men for them." Incomplete and inefficient as the list of ships supplied by the Times may be, to cope with the three aggressive Powers in Europe, there is no moral means of put ting above a fifth of that machinery in motion. The fleet of Britain naustlie idle—even if Britain were at- tacked—for want of m•n. 'With the greatest maritime population in th• world, with millions of generous and bold hearts, to whom enterprise is delight, to whom the sea is a home, and the theatre of their country's glory, the Government of Great Britain cannot man, according to the Secretary of the Admiralty, thirty line-of-battle ships. In fact, at this moment, and for months and years past, the greatest difficulty has been experienced in procuring men for the ships that have been put into Commission. How is this ? How is it that the maritime population of Eng land shrink from serving in the Navy, now when her MAJESTY'S ships only make as it were voyages of pleasure, and when they abound with comforts and conveniences not to be found in any other ships of the world ? The country possesses in her steam-ships and in her men-of-war, ample physical means to dare all the fleets of the world; but there are no sailors tobe found for them. Officers abounds...he Admiralty is besieged with them--the Navy List is crowded with them, hundreds of them of all ranks have been, and are, begging for employment, but there are no sailors. .. Why is this ? a questi on f u ll y as i mportant as the one we have bor rowed from the Times. It is, we answer, the neces sary consequence of that horrible practice—impress ment, which has begotten in all our maritime popula tion an overwhelming repugnance to the slave service of the Navy. That abominable, that devilish practice, stamps the service it is employed to provide men for with all the characteristics of felony, and justly makes it shunned by all the honourable and the free. Yet, after twenty-two years peace, so besotted, or so brutally negligent, have been all the Lords of the Admiralty, that this odium remains as intens e as ever, and in case of a war the " bloody and brutal" practice of impressment, causing mutiny, desertion, and resistance, and again exciting even still more intense hatred of the naval service than be fore in the minds of our maritime population, will again disgrace our country. The Government, whethe r administered by Whigs or Tories, and the country, whichever faction may have predominated, have long ago been warned of this inevitable and natural result ; and after 22 years confirmed and continued peace, not effort has been made to remove from the minds of Jr people the correct and just impression. Instead of impressment having been for ever publicly re nounced and stigmatised by the Legislatur e as one of the most unrighteous acts that ever disgraced a Go vernment, it has always been cherished at the Admi ralty, and maintained in Parliament, always kept terrorent, as a means o f gett i ng men for , hanging UD7 in one THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1838. the fleet ; and preserving it, the Parliament and the Ad miralty have preserved and deepened the impression that the naval service is one full of horrors, and fit only for felons. The country and the Government have their proper reward. "We could send" said the Secretary of the Admiralty a short month ago, " thirty sail of the line to sea in a very short time, of we could only get men for them." There will be found elsewhere in The Sun a brief report of the proceedings which took place at Hud dersfield on Saturday last, the day on which Mr. RICHARD OASTLER delivered to a great crowd in that town the speech from which we yesterday laid a few extracts before the public. We also publish a letter from Mr. THORNHILL, in which he states the reasons that induced him to discharge OASTLER from his stewardship, and one from the latter person to his former master, denying the charge of embezzlement, and calling upon him to answer .certain questions. This we think Mr. THORNHILL is bound to do. In an account of a duel which took place a few days since, and which appeared in our columns on the 23d inst., the name of one of the principals should have been Mr. CHARLES KENRICR, nephew o f Captin Sir JoHN' Ross, and not Mr. PONSONBY, as was stated to us by a correspondent. We have received a letter from Dr. ALEXANDER CROMBIE, late of Greenwich, and well known to the public as the author of several first-rate works in various departments of literature, disclaiming all connection with the Highland Destitution Committee, one of whose Secretaries bears the same surname. It will be seen by this gentleman's letter, which is inserted in another column, that he is one of those (and if we are rightly informed they are not a small number) who have withdrawn their subscriptions from the controul of the Committee, in consequence of the course pursued by some of its members in the destination of the funds. The French Mails, which should have reached London at an early hour this morning, have not yet arrived. Subjoined are extracts from the Brussels and German Papers, which have just come to hand : BRUSSELS, Aua. 26. —Our superior clergy have lately received a very important letter from Rome, in which the Pope prescribes the 'course which is to be followed in mar riages between Catholics and Protestants, that are celebrated by the ecclesiastical authorities in Belgium. - Counsellor Muller, who has the management of the ports which are farmed to the Prince of Tour and Taxis, including the principal states of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Russia, has just arrived at Brussels. We are assured that the object of his coming is to conclude a convention with the Belgian Government for the conveyance by an iron railroad from Ostend to Aix-la-Chapelle, all the letters from Belgium and to England. In this manner the North of Europe - will gain two days in its intercourse with England and the countries beyond the sea, to which the English packets go. Our northern neighbours will be indebted to our iron railroad for this improvement. ANTWERP, Au°. 28.—The Antwerpen and the City of Hamburg steam-boats, which ought to have arrived yes'erday, were hindered by running agretn,d. The delay that was thus caused was the only harm accruing from the accident. The former, which arrived at ten o'clock last night, run aground yesterday morning at half-past five o'clock, opposite Flushing, on the bank of Calloot, and was so deep in the sand that it was necessary to take out a small part of the cargo ; some of the passengers fearing a longer delay, came to Ant werp by the boat from Flushing. The Cityof Hamburg ran just at the same time, near West Capellon, on the bank called the Paarde markt ; it was like wise obliged to take out its cargo; it took it on board agsin when it got afloat; it arrived here this morning tt half-east eleven o'clock. The accident was caused by the thick fog, ' which rendered it impossible to distinguish the coast.—Jour nal du Commerce d'Anvers, Aug. 29. The Moniteur Belge says that on the first ten days of this month of August the number of passengers on the Railroad was 63,348 ; second ten days, 113 129. Total from the Ist to the 20th of August, 176,469. The receipts were 91,7311. 43c. ; and 150,6831. 37c. Total, 242,4341. 80c. These are figures which reveal the greatest means of communication ever yet opened in the world. Compared with our iron Rail road, conveying 113,000 persons in ten days, what are the English Railroads, with their Aristocratic convoys of 100 or 150 persons ? and these masses have been conveyed, not on a double road, as all those in England are, when they have not three or four lines, in part of their course, but on a road which is almost every where single, with a material less by half than what would be strictly necessary. Nothing can stop, nothing can restrain tha crowd, tha palliaades which enclose the stations arc forced—the carriages are taken by storm, the armed force its obliged to interfere, in order to make it possible for the trains to depart, and surprise is expressed that delays sometimes take place. If there is anything to cause astonishment, it is that in such a chaos it is possible for the service to go on, and that, whatever may be said, with a certain degree of regularity; for in fine, all those who pre. sent themselves, however numerous, are conveyed to their destination. The King arrived at Brussels from the camp at Beverloo the evening before yesterday, and set out for Ghent Raiload yesterday morning, accompanied by the Minister of Pub lic Works. BERLIN, Aye. 19.—The Emperor and Empress of Russia will pass some days at Potsdam and Berlin before they return to Petersburg. While they are at Potsdam (in the middle of September) the section of the iron railroad from that place to half-way on the road to Berlin, is to be opened. Some delay will take place in the completion of the second half of the line, because there will be a pretty . long cut through an eminence of 35 feet in height with a hedge, where the high roads will have the iron railroads under it, and not far from that place a vaulted passage, where the high road will have the iron railroad above it. However, the Directors hope to have the second section also completed in the autumn, so that the citizens of Berlin will be able to reach in half an hour the beautiful environs of Potsdam.

The Emperor and Empress, besides whom the Crown Prince is likewise absent, have never remained so long out of the empire as on this occasion. Meantime, the restoration of th e Winter Palace is proceeding with incredible activity.:The number of military labourers alone is 5,000, who do every thing for half the price demanded by masters of the class of citizens. The Emperor thinks of receiving the Court by the new year in the restored palace. The marble with which the walls are to be covered is expected from Italy, where it is furnished for half a million of rubles, whereas a million and a half were asked at Petersburgh.

We regret to learn that typhus fever, of a very ma lignant character, has appeared in the neighbourhood of Ash ted, three deaths having occurred in one family, other members of which are deemed to be in a dangerous state. A medical opinion has been expressed that the disease originated, or kas been promoted by the presence of stagnant pools and ditches in that vicinity. The public authorities have been addressed on the subject.—BirminghamGazette. _Last week a ruffianly fellow named Pope was, for successive acts of brutal outrage towards his wife, sentenced by the Magistrates at Birmingham to twelve months' impri sonment, in default of finding sureties for his good behaviour.

Se veral stones inscribed in the ancient Ogham character have lately been discovered in the parish of Dungin, near Dingle, in the county of lie ry, by the Rev. George G. Gubbing, the Rector of Drumlin. The place where they were found contained several human remains, which, from the mode in which they were placed, leads to the conclusion that it must have been a place of heathen sepulture. I n t hi s neighbourhood lies Ventry harbour, famous in Irish history for the exploits of the Finnic, under Fin M'Coul, and as th e spot where the Danes possessed their last hold in Ireland. - Waterford Mail. , .

We have received the Journal de Commerce of yesterday's date, which states in a postcript as follows : .‘ We learn by a telegraph dispatch that the seige of Mirallo is raised."

According to the private accounts from Berga of the 13th August, half-past eight o'clock in the evening, it appears by a dispatch received from Count d'Espagne, that on the 12th instant a strong enemy's column loft Solsona. taking the road to Cordonna. Count d'Espagne, on receiving the in formation, followed the enemy by the left of Rio Cuidanis ; but not being able to attack the Christinos on that clan he formed a position of attack for the following day, when he fell in with three Christino columns, and in less than an hour's combat the Christinos were put in disorder and pursued. The only foreign arrival this morning is the Ostend mail, with a few ship letters of old dates. By the Ostend mail we have received the important information of the seige of Mo rella being given up by the Queen's troops. Should this event be confirmed by the arrival of the French mail, it will affect Spanish securities. For several days past large quantities of foreign wheat have arrived from Germany and the Baltic.

GUILDHALL-(THIS DAY.) William Squires, who was brought up on Tuesday on sus picion of having been in the warehouse of Mr. Woodhouse, in Wood-street, for the purpose of committing felony, was, this morning, committed to the House of Correction for a month, he not having given a satisfactory explanation of his conduct on that occasion. Richard Perry was charged by Elizabeth Davis, of Sea coal-lane, with having appropriated six shillings to his own use instead of paying it as she directed him; and also with having assaulted a watchman. The complainant stated that she carries on the business of a chimney-sweep, in which she is assisted by her two boys and the prisoner. Yesterday she entrusted him with 6s. to pay a debt, but he spent it, and on her following him to a public house, he struck her, and afterwards assaulted the watchman. , _. ........... _ Mr. Alderman VENABLES asked the prisoner what he had done with the money ? Perry--I have spent it ;it was my own. The business is mine; lam well known in the neigh bourhood. Alderman VENABLES—I dare say you are.—(Laughter.) The boys earn the money, and you spend it. Complainant—That is exactly the case. The business is not his. The prisoner was then ordered to find bail. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A journeyman hair-dresser, out of employ, named John Ralph, was charged by William Farmer, an errand-boy, with breaking a number of bottles. It appeared that the com plainant was passing last evening through May's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane, carrying a bag upon his shoulder, which contained toilet bottles, and which he had orders from his master to get silver mounted. Instead of going upon his busi ness, he stopped to have a peep into the window of a print shop, and the prisoner passing by at the time, he knocked the bag upon the pavement, and broke to the amount of Bs. The prisoner said it was purely accidental, and he was or dered to pay for the damage, or go to prison for a month. A journeyman organ-builder and his wife complained that they had been put to great inconvenience by their landlord; who had locked up their room, and refused them access to it, as they were in arrears of rent to the amount of 20a. Mr. Mnsranum, enquired if a regular distress had been made. The applicant said not, and he was unable to attend to his work, as he could get no wittles. The female applicant assured his Worship that she had not a rag to put on ; and what she considered very cruel, the cat was locked up, and would in all probability die of hunger, unless the hard-hearted landlord was compelled to let her out. Mr. MINSICULL observed, that in addition to locking the applicants out, the landlord was exercising cruelty to a dumb animal. Mr. BArnaby said the cat was not treated with cruelty, as it was only locked up in the room. Mr. Mt NSHULL—And do you call being locked up to starve no cruelty ? lam of opinion, that no punishment could be inflicted upon any animal, even upon a cat, equal to starvation. The landlord must come and give a satisfactory account of his treat ment to the cat. The applicants went away, and in a few minutes returned, bringing word that the landlord desired his Worship to go and be d—d. Mr. MiNsrwm, instantly ordered a warrant to be issued, and on the parties again making their appearance, they behaved in such a boisterous manner, the male applicant demanding his wittles, and the female insisting on having her torn cit re stored to her, the case was obliged to be dismissed.
